The Ventura County sheriff said the bar was crowded with more than 100 people, many of them college students. The gunman, who hasn’t been identified “Middle Eastern’ appearance opens fire at bar in Thousand Oaks, California. He killed 12 people, including …

He killed 12 people, including a sheriff’s sergeantwho responded to the gunfire. Police later found the shooter dead inside the bar, possibly from a self-inflicted wound.

“It’s a horrific scene in there,” Dean said. “There is blood everywhere and the suspect is part of that.

“We don’t know who shot anybody at this point.”

A witness to the shootings, Taylor Von Molt, 21, who said she was a promotor at the bar, said the gunman wore a black mask with a bandana covering the bottom of his face, and a black hoodie.

The dead officer was identified as Sergeant Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran of the department, Dean told reporters. Helus and a California Highway Patrol officer were the first to arrive at the bar and went inside just before 11:30 p.m.

The rampage took place at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Authorities don’t yet have a motive for the shooting.

“I just started hearing these big pops. Pop pop pop,” he said. “There was probably three or four. I hit the ground. I look up. The security guard … was shot, he was down. The gunman was throwing smoke grenades all over the place. I saw him point to the back at the cash register and he just kept firing.”

“We don’t understand the decision of Mayor Gronkiewicz-Waltz … Even if the courts confirm her decision, we will still meet … The march will take place,” said Tomasz Dorosz, the leader of Poland’s National Radical Camp, one of the groups involved in organizing the march.

In a statement on Wednesday, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, Warsaw’s liberal outgoing mayor has banned the Polish independence march planned for Sunday to mark the centenary, citing the “risk of violence and expressions of hatred.” (….)

Organizers said they would defy the ban. They lodged a court appeal against the decision to shut down the annual Nov. 11 event commemorating the anniversary of Poland’s independence at the end of World War One.

On Nov. 11 Poles commemorate the establishment of the second Polish republic in 1918 from territory seized in the 18th century by the Russian, Austrian and Prussian empires.

After the alleged rape of a girl by Syrians, in mid-October, the police chief of Friborg advised women not to become vulnerable by using drugs or alcohol.

The alleged rape of a girl by Syrians on 14 October in Freiburg, a university town in the south-east of the country, shocked the population. As a result of this case, Bernhard Rotzinger, the city’s chief of police, expressed a surprising idea to prevent future attacks. ‘We cannot offer all-risk insurance, but I have a good piece of advice: do not make yourself vulnerable by using drugs or alcohol,’ he told the daily Der Spiegel on 2 November.

Bernhard Rotzinger estimates that the security level is stable in the city, two years after the murder of a young German by the asylum seeker Hussein K. in 2016. The police presence has been increased in Friborg, and since then, there have been fewer violent assaults. But the local police chief notes that ‘since 2016 more sexual assaults were reported’. He attributes this increase to the hardening of the law against sexual assault (the law punishes more acts) and increased sensitivity of the population to these phenomena, leading to more complaints. Moreover, according to the head of the police, the proportion of non-Germans among the perpetrators of these crimes is greater than that of the German citizens.

However, according to Bernhard Rotzinger, the police cannot do everything. ‘We must realize that in an open society, any aggression cannot be prevented,’ he added in his interview with Spiegel.

The mother of a 14-year-old schoolgirl who police believe was murdered and cut up before being served as kebab meat has claimed the investigation was sidelined because she is working class.

Charlene Downes, from Blackpool, disappeared 15 years ago but her family are no closer to finding out the truth about what happened to her.

Her mother, Karen Downes, has been highly critical of the police who initially dismissed her daughter as a runaway, and said at points she felt as if she was the only one looking for her.

Now Karen is speaking out about her ordeal for the first time in a new book so that her beloved daughter is never forgotten.

She said: ‘The police came but they just dismissed Charlene as a runaway. They wouldn’t put her picture in the paper or on TV.

‘In the end, I was so despairing of the lack of interest in Charlene that I had my own leaflets printed and I handed them out myself, on the streets of Blackpool, night after night. Sometimes it felt as though I was the only one looking for her.’

The investigation into Charlene’s disappearance became the largest in Lancashire Police’s history and was incredibly controversial.

In 2007 two business partners were tried for murdering Charlene and disposing of her body using a mincing machine, before putting it into kebabs.

However, a jury failed to reach a verdict and the case collapsed. Iyad Albattikhi and Mohammed Reveshi later received six-figure compensation sums for false imprisonment.

In 2013, to mark the tenth anniversary of Charlene’s disappearance, police announced they had appointed a dedicated full-time senior investigating officer to the case.

Last year, a 51-year-old man was arrested after being first quizzed by police in the year she went missing. Over the years, police have made five arrests on suspicion of Charlene’s murder but all have been freed without charge.

Eurozone failures mean Iceland should stay out of the EU, its prime minister told EUobserver.

She would also quit Nato if she had her say.

“I don’t think we should enter the EU right now. I don’t think there’s any reason to apply,” Katrin Jakobsdottir said in an interview with this website, as Iceland’s new government prepared to celebrate its first anniversary in power.

“Personally, I’m critical towards the economic policies of the EU – the creation of the eurozone without any real centralised policies on taxes or fiscal policies,” she said.

“The European Central Bank has become really powerful without being very democratic. The economic policies of the EU have been really distant from people in the eurozone and they’ve created divisions that needn’t be there,” she added.

Iceland applied to join the EU in 2009, but abandoned the process in 2015.

The issue of EU membership remained divisive, Jakobsdottir said.

“It was controversial then [in 2009] and still is,” she said after recent polls, which indicated that 60 percent of Icelanders wanted to stay out of Europe, while 40 percent wanted to go in.

Free trade with the EU had been unequivocally good for Iceland, the prime minister said, however.

“Iceland’s position within the EEA has proved beneficial to us,” Jakobsdottir said.

“When we look at our economy, our social structure and our policy-making, I think we’ve done pretty well without being members of the EU,” she said.

“You can check all the indices of the world: We’re not doing too badly on economic performance, social indicators, or gender equality for that matter, where we’re ahead of all other Nordic countries,” she added

How illegal migrants cope financially during their long journeys to and through Europe has been revealed by the Slovenian site Nova24

According to the site, UNHCR and the EU, in cooperation with MasterCard and Soros, generously hand out prepaid debit cards to the migrants.

The cards are equipped with both EU and UNHCR logos. No identity documents are required to obtain or use the cards – instead of the name of the cardholder, “UNHCR” and a number is printed on the card.

According to Nova24, the information comes from a source within the Croatian police, which states that the migrants are well-equipped with newly purchased, high-quality boots, hiking clothes, smartphones and even weapons.

During the stopover in the Eastern European countries, they withdraw cash from ATMs to stock up on supplies.

MasterCard announced in 2016 that they issued prepaid debit cards to “give refugees mobility, flexibility and dignity”.

In a press release last year, MasterCard also announced a cooperation with George Soros with the aim to “catalyse and accelerate economic and social development for vulnerable groups in the world, especially refugees and migrants”.

The press release further stated that George Soros had earmarked up to $500 million for private investment that will increase capacity to meet the challenges faced by migrants, including refugees, and their host communities across the world.

At the Croatian border, just 224 kilometers from Austria, more than 20,000 migrants hope to have a chance to break into Central Europe.

‘The Croats are really trying to handle that alone. They have also deployed special forces during this transition,’ say analysts from Group III (Migration) of the Interior Ministry in Vienna.

But there are disturbing developments, officials say:

‘Now, more are coming, more families, and there are almost no women. 95% of these migrants who wish to break through (note: The Border Line) are young men, mostly from Iran, Morocco and Algeria, almost all armed with knives. A border policeman has already been stabbed. ‘

“Europe does not want to impose any action on the Croats,’ says the Ministry of Interior. At the same time, a major breakthrough in Velika-Kladusa should be prevented for this reason alone, so that it does not become a sign for the departure of tens of thousands of additional migrants. One solution has already been found: in November, an extensive exercise of deployment of the Frontex border protection force must take place exactly at this border.

The struggle of the Chinese authorities against anything that resembles a Muslim directly or indirectly continues in the Xinjiang region. After banning the wearing of the veil and ‘long’ beards, local authorities now want to put Halal in the end.

Thus, a decisive battle has just been announced by the Chinese Communist Party of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, whose advisers have just sworn to lead a merciless struggle against the Halal and its spread, reports the site Saphirnews.

The Chinese authorities seem to want to do everything possible to put an end to Islam in this region and have even launched ‘re-education centers’ to ‘educate and transform people who have been influenced by extremism’ and ‘help them transform their lives and thoughts, and to return to society or their families’, says the same source.
